Phanindra Narsetti, the filmmaker who captured attention with Madhuram short film and later ventured into feature films with Manu, is back after a long seven-year hiatus. His latest project, 8 Vasantalu, stars Ananthika Sanilkumar in the lead role and is backed by the renowned Mythri Movie Makers. The teaser for the film has just dropped.
The teaser introduces us to Shuddhi Ayodhya, played by Ananthika, as she talks to her partner about moving past a failed love story. When he questions if she truly understands the pain of heartbreak, the story rewinds, unraveling her own tale. We witness a fragile young woman fall deeply in love, only to face the sting of failure.
The reverse storytelling is a bold and captivating move by Phanindra Narsetti, drawing viewers into an emotional whirlwind. The teaser ends with Shuddhi, now a strong and resilient woman, delivering a profound line: “Everyone carries a cyclone of pain in their heart; some reveal it, others keep it hidden.”
Hesham Abdul Wahab’s heartfelt music adds soul to the visuals, which feel fresh and vibrant. Alongside Ananthika, the film features Ravi Teja Duggirala, Hanu Reddy, Kanna, and Sanjana in key roles. With its emotional depth and creative narrative, 8 Vasantalu promises to be a film to watch out for.
